Allows 50 percent sales and use tax exemption for telephone, mail-order, and internet transactions by qualified businesses within Urban Enterprise Zone; allows quarterly tax returns for qualified businesses; increases allowable administrative expenses by qualified municipalities.
This bill allows businesses operating within New Jersey's Urban Enterprise Zones to receive a 50 percent sales and use tax exemption on telephone, mail-order, and internet transactions. It also permits these qualified businesses to file quarterly tax returns instead of monthly ones and increases the allowable administrative expenses that municipalities can claim for managing the zones. The legislation defines a "qualified business" as one that employs at least 25 percent of its full-time staff in the zone, with employees who are local residents, unemployed New Jersey residents, or low-income individuals.
